The purpose of this project was to build our own model rocket and successfully launch it. Based on this purpose we believe that our rocket was fairly successful. During our primary launch everything went as expected; our parachute deployed and nothing was damaged. During our secondary launch the engine pushed into the body tube of the rocket causing it to spin out and fall, therefore it was not a controlled launch and the recovery system did not deploy, however, no parts were broken. Overall we had a fairly successful launch day. We were able to get good data except for the missing angle reading due to the broken instrument.
Conclusion:
